power button is not inline with the camera on the SII.

I meant as in it's near enough the same, same side and in proportion to the phone's dimensions.

Anyway, it's less easy to accidentally press it during a call by the looks of it on the SIII as it's quite easy on the SII...

Was hoping the surround and back would be carbon fibre like what Dell are doing with their ultra book. Also I think its thiness might mean the battery is small, could be wrong cos they could have a higher density but I would like a 2500mah+ one.

regards to the earpiece, u can see little notches at the extents of where it would be.

Wow.. looks pretty similar to my TG01 lol (And almost as thin).

HTC phones use Sense, what do Samsung phones use? And if I got the SIII would I be able to not use their Sense equivalent?

TouchWiz, you either love it or hate it a bit like marmite. Personally I like it as it has several useful features compared to AOSP but don't like the TW Launcher.

Lol @ the 5 icon comment in the article! Many 3rd party launchers already do this on several screen sizes!

That image is surely fake. Why would Samsung send a picture of the phone that they are launching on the unpacking event invite?

kona786 · 17 Mar 2012 at 16:37

I hope it's fake 'cos it looks a bit pants to me.

mrk · 17 Mar 2012 at 17:09

You need new eyes because that looks very good in a modern next gen smartphone kind of way.

I don't believe it is fake either. I know this because my gut tell me it's not fake.

I trust my gut.

Just looks like a SGSII with big tacky shiny bezel around it.

Anyway nothing's been confirmed so I'll sit back until it is.

I like the look of that, make it made from good material ( not more plastic) and it would be very nice, would think black would look a lot better in it though.

No. You either hate it or put up with it.

Nobody loves it.

Can you use GoLauncher on Galaxy S phones? That's what I use on my DHD

Robbo · 17 Mar 2012 at 18:40

Of course, there are loads of Launchers.

Why would you not be able to use an Android launcher on another Android phone?

Dunno I've never used a Samsung.

Galaxy S (Player) WiFi 4.2

DEBUNKED?

Robbo · 17 Mar 2012 at 22:18

Not really, they could have taken design ideas from the Player...

mrk · 17 Mar 2012 at 22:19

It would be natural for the model lineup to follow the same design philosophy just like how the current player looks similar to the current Galaxy phone as well.

kona786 · 17 Mar 2012 at 22:25

I knew you'd say that as you both like the designs. But looking at it from here its an easy approach to a 'shop.
